Cheap Flights to Thorame-Haute from HK$406

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Thorame-Haute in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Thorame-Haute in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
